PREFACE. 


The  following  List  (Part  I)  and  Catalogue  (Part  II)  was  compiled  in  response  to 
demands  for  information  in  regard  to  the  publications  of  the  United  States  Coast  and 
Geodetic  Survey,  and  relates  entirely  to  these  publications: 

Previous  to  July  i,  1878,  this  Bureau  was  called  the  United  States  Coast  Survey, 
which  explains  the  apparent  discrepancy  in  the  title  of  the  publications  issued  before 
and  since  that  date. 

The  List  is  arranged  in  chronological  order  and  the  Catalogue  alphabetically  by 
ailthors,  subjects,  and  places,  with  numerous  cross  references.  All  of  the  subject 
headings  used  in  this  Catalogue  are  given  in  systematic  order  at  the  beginning  of 
the  Catalogue. 

The  publications  in  the  List  and  Catalogue  marked  "  Exhausted"  are  no  longer 
available  for  distribution.  All  others  can  be  obtained,  free  of  charge,  upon  application 
to  the  Superintendent  United  States  Coast  and  Geodetic  Survey,  Washington,  D.  C., 
except  the  Coast  Pilots  and  Tide  Tables,  which  are  sold  at  the  cost  of  paper  and 
printing. 

Indexes  and  catalogues  of  the  Survey's  publications  have  previously  been  issued 
under  the  following  titles:

PART  I.    -LIST. 


ANNUAL   REPORTS. 


The  Annual  Report  of  the  Superintendent  of  the  United  States  Coast  and  Geodetic 
Survey,  fully  illustrated  with  maps  and  diagrams,  is  made  under  law  to  Congress  at 
each  session,  and  shows  in  detail  the  persons  employed,  the  work  accomplished,  and 
the  expenditures  under  the  annual  appropriations. 

Originally  appearing  as  a  document  in  the  Congressional  series  only,  it  has  also 
been  published  in  a  separate  Survey  edition  since  1851.  For  1851  separate  volumes 
were  issued  for  the  text  and  for  the  sketches.  From  1891  to  1894.  inclusive,  the 
report  proper  and  the  appendices  were  printed  in  separate  volumes  as  Parts  I  and  II. 
With  these  exceptions  the  report  has  been  issued  annually  since  1851  in  one  quarto 
volume. 

The  appendices  on  scientific  and  professional  subjects  include  almost  all  of  the 
material  of  that  character  published  by  the  Survey,  whether  issued  in  some  other  series 
or  not.  The  appendices  have  also  been  printed  apart  from  the  reports  in  "separate" 
form  when  the  demand  for  them  has  warranted  such  publication. 

In  the  earlier  reports  of  the  Coast  Survey  statements  of  progress  made  in  office 
operations  will  generally  be  found  following  the  abstracts  of  reports  of  field  work, 
attention  also  being  called  to  office  work  of  special  interest  or  importance  in  the 
introductory  portions  of  the  reports.  This  will  be  found  to  apply  to  the  annual  reports 
from  1844  to  1855,  inclusive. 

In  the  reports  from  1856  to  1864,  inclusive,  in  addition  to  the  notices  of  office 
operations  in  the  body  of  each  report,  there  are  appendices  which  contain  reports  from 
the  chiefs  of  the  divisions  of  the  office,  or,  in  some  cases,  the  complete  reports  of  the 
assistant  in  charge  of  the  office  and  of  the  chiefs  of  divisions. 

The  publication  of  the  annual  reports  of  the  assistant  in  charge  of  the  office  and 
of  the  chiefs  of  the  office  divisions  was  discontinued  during  the  years  1865  to  1880, 
inclusive,  and  the  references  to  office  operations  were  made  in  the  same  manner  as  those 
in  the  annual  reports  of  the  Survey  from  1844  to  1855,  inclusive,  these  references  being 
supplemented  by  appendices  giving  lists  of  drawings  or  engravings  of  charts  in  progress 
or  completed  and  by  appendices  detailing  the  field  and  office  work  relating  to  tides. 

In  the  annual  report  for  1881  the  reports  made  by  the  chiefs  of  the  computing, 
tidal,  drawing,  engraving,  and  hydrographic  divisions  of  the  office  were  printed  in  full; 
in  the  report  for  1882  these  reports  were  published  as  Appendix  No.  6;  in  the  annual 
reports  of  the  Survey  from  1883  to  1889,  inclusive,  the  annual  reports  of  the  assistant 
in  charge  of  office  and  topography  and  of  the  hydrographic  inspector  appear  as 
Appendices  Xos.  4  and  5;  in  the  annual  report  for  1890  Appendix  Xo.  4  contains  the 
annual  report  of  the  assistant  in  charge  of  the  office,  Appendix  Xo.  5  the  annual  report 
of  the  hydrographic  inspector,  Appendix  Xo.  6  the  annual  report  of  the  disbursing 
agent,  and  Appendix  Xo.  7  the  annual  report  of  the  assistant  in  charge  of  the  office  of 
weights  and  measures. 

It  has  not  been  deemed  advisable  to  add  to  the  length  of  this  List  by  including  these 
office  reports,  embodying  as  the}-  do  much  matter  relating  to  routine  operations  and 
details  of  value  chiefly  for  official  reference.

Eeport  1807.  COAST  AND  GEODETIC  SURVEY  PUBLICATIONS. 

The  office  of  standard  weights  ana  measures  was  organized  under  the  Superin- 
tendent of  the  Coast  Survey  in  1831,  and  its  reports  have  been  issued  regularly  since 
1837  as  a  part  of  his  official  report.  They  are  therefore  contained  in  the  following  list 
of  reports. 

Many  individual  scientific  papers  on  standards  based  on  the  work  of  this  office  were 
printed  as  appendices  in  the  report  of  the  Superintendent  of  the  Survey.  All  of  them 
will  be  found  grouped  under  the  subject  headings  "Standards"  and  "Weights  and 
measure  office"  in  the  Catalogue  (Part  II). 

On  July  i,  1901,  the  act  of  Congress  approved  March  3,  1901,  creating  the  National 
Bureau  of  Standards,  became  fully  operative  and  on  that  date  it  became  an  independent 
Bureau.

Footnote  to  first  page. — This  article  originally  appeared  in  the  Coast  survey  Report  for  1855,  appendix  48, 
and  was  continued  in  reports  of  1856,  1858,  and  1859,  appendix  24,  pp.  296-305.  In  the  second  edition,  in 
Coast  survey  Report  for  1874,  appendix  8,  pp.  72-108,  the  investigation  appears  great!}-  extended;  the 
substitution  of  a  sine  for  a  cosine  function  was  made,  and  the  epoch  was  changed  from  183010  1850; 
also  some  use  was  made  of  Cauchy's  method  of  interpolation  for  the  establishment  of  some  second 
periodic  terms.  The  third  edition,  issued  in  June,  1879,  appeared  in  pamphlet  form,  and  is  not  con- 
tained in  any  annual  Report  of  the  Coast  and  geodetic  survey.  The  geographical  range  of  the  investi- 
gation was  much  enlarged,  and  the  paper  was  illustrated  by  two  plates.  The  next  or  fourth  edition 
was  brought  out  in  June,  iSSi,  and  forms  appendix  q.  Coast  and  geodetic  survey  Report  for  1879;  it  was 
illustrated  with  three  plates.  In  the  fifth  edition,  of  November,  iSS2,  appendix~i2.  Report  for  1882.  there 
were  discussed  837  declinations,  observed  at  fS2  stations,  situated  in  the  United  States  and  a  few  in 
Europe.  South  America,  Asia,  and  Polynesia,  the  latter  for  the  purpose  of  extending  our  knowledge  of 
magnetic  changes  beyond  our  immediate  seacoast.  The  sixth  edition  forms  appendix  12,  annual  Report 
for  1886;  it  is  dii-tinguished  by  a  more  systematic  arrangement  of  its  contents  and  by  a  more  liberal 
introduction  of  observations  made  at  sea  near  our  coasts;  besides  the  number  of  stations  to  which  the 
record  and  discussion  extends  is  increased  to  94.  with  an  available  material  of  1,071  observed  declina- 
tions. In  the  seventh  edition  the  stations  are  increased  to  102  and  the  number  of  declinations  to  1,245. 
The  Report  for  1895,  appendix  i,  contains  the  eighth  edition.

BULLETINS. 


Bulletins  are  issued  by  the  Survey  from  time  to  time  as  material  accumulates. 
They  are  intended  to  give  early  announcement  of  work  accomplished  or  information 
of  importance  obtained,  and  in  many  cases  anticipate  the  usual  means  of  publication 
afforded  by  the  Annual  Reports.  They  are  indexed  when  their  number  demands  it, 
thus  augmenting  their  value  for  preservation  and  reference.

SEPARATELY   ISSUED   PUBLICATIONS. 


For  various  reasons  papers  have  been  published  on  a  variety  of  professional, 
scientific,  or  historical  subjects  in  separate  form  and  without  serial  number.  They  are 
here  listed  from  the  beginning,  in  the  order  of  their  issue.  Only  a  few  of  these  have 
also  been  printed  in  the  Annual  Reports.  They  are  special  publications  without  a 
serial  number. 

These  publications  vary  greatly  in  sizes  and  style  of  printing,  the  form  being 
determined  largely  by  the  purpose  they  are  intended  to  serve.  Some  of  them,  such  as 
tables,  etc.,  are  printed  on  cardboard  for  use  in  the  field;  and  others,  such  as  star 
catalogues,  larger  in  size,  are  printed  and  substantially  bound  with  reference  to 
similar  use.

COAST  PILOTS. 


Coast  Pilots  were  first  begun  as  a  series  of  publications  in  1869.  Previously  to 
that  coast  pilot  matters  appeared  from  time  to  time  in  appendices  to  the  annual  reports. 
For  a  list  of  these  appendices,  see  Coast  Pilot  in  the  catalogue. 

The  latest  editions  of  the  Coast  Pilots  are  on  sale  at  all  of  the  chart  agencies  of  the 
Survey,  located  in  the  principal  cities  on  the  coast.  The  Coast  Pilots  are  now  published 
under  the  following  titles:  United  States  Coast  Pilot — Atlantic  coast — Parts  I-II  to 
VIII,  extending  from  Maine  to  Texas,  inclusive.  United  States  Coast  Pilot  — Pacific 
coast — California,  Washington,  and  Oregon.  United  States  Coast  Pilot — Alaska — 
Part  I. 

Coast  Pilot  information  relating  to  Bering  Sea  and  the  Arctic  Ocean  is  also  con- 
tained in  Bulletin  No.  40.  Supplements  to  all  the  volumes  are  issued  whenever  new 
information  makes  it  necessary,  pending  the  revision  of  the  volumes  and  the  issue  of  a 
new  edition.  All  volumes  are  corrected  to  date  of  issue  by  the  Survey.

NOTICE   TO    MARINERS. 


The  annual  reports  of  the  Survey  previous  to  1869  contained  many  Notices  to 
Mariners  in  the  form  of  communications  from  the  Superintendent  to  the  Secretary  of 
the  Treasury,  with  requests  that  authority  be  given  to  publish  for  the  benefit  of

TIDE   TABLES. 


Like  many  other  publications  of  the  Survey  the  Tide  Tables  were  first  issued  as 
appendices  to  the  reports.  They  were  issued  as  an  independent  series  in  1866.  In  that 
year  the  Tables  were  divided  and  issued  separately  for  the  Atlantic  and  Pacific  coasts 
of  the  United  States.  In  1895  tne  Tables  for  the  two  coasts  were  combined  into  one 
volume  from  which  was  reprinted  an  edition  for  the  Pacific  coast,  and,  in  1901,  a  similar 
edition  for  the  Atlantic  coast.  At  present  the  Tide  Tables  also  contain  predictions  for 
the  principal  foreign  ports.
